Using an old site on a new installation

Hi!

I’ve been using Publii for my blog for more than a year and I reinstalled my PC. I’m trying to “open” my old website files in this new installation but I can’t seem to find how.
- I changed the websites’ files folder to mine, then closed Publii and pasted my files in this folder
- I reopened Publii and created a new website to get the website management view
- There, I only see the dummy site I created to get this view
- I closed and reopened Publii, no change
Am I really missing something?

Thank you!

What exactly did you change, the site name folder (site or YOUR_SITE)? ‎⁨(Documents ▸ ⁨Publii⁩ ▸ ⁨sites⁩ ▸ ⁨YOUR_SITE )

I changed the folder in Files location > Sites location. But everything is in order now. For some reason, the first time I changed this parent folder, the app didn’t take it into account. It works now! Thank you.
